Mahmudur Rahman Manna, the convener of the Citizens’ Unity, said that the country was on the verge of destruction. So you have to be disappointed. There is no other possibility. If there is no possibility, frustration will come. Those who rule, run the country, have no compassion for their people.
He said this at a discussion meeting at the Zahur Hossain Chowdhury Auditorium of the National Press Club in the capital at around 5.30 pm on Saturday. The meeting was organized by Nagarik Prakashan on the occasion of unveiling the cover of Mahmudur Rahman’s book titled ‘Twenty-two Months of Prison’.Advertising
Elaborating on his imprisonment experience, Mahmudur Rahman said, “Everything I have written inside the jail is about corruption, but is there less corruption outside the jail?” What kind of inhuman treatment is being done inside the prison, is there any humane treatment in the country? ‘
Mentioning that everyone should be united in establishing a society of social justice, Mahmudur Rahman said, ‘There is no bowing down with injustice. Now everyone has to be strong from their place. We want to vote for rights, for freedom of expression. That doesn’t mean demanding, it’s about telling one’s conscience. ‘
Lawyer Shahdin Malik has commented that Bangladesh is gradually becoming a ‘terrorist state’. He said the first step is an authoritarian government. In the second stage, that authoritarian government became heavily dependent on law enforcement. The third step is that a large part of the law enforcement agencies gradually become criminals themselves.
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the government has respect for drug addicts, thieves, robbers and money launderers. But those who oppose the government, those who protest, those whose voices are loud, are not respected.
Mentioning that there is no practice of clean politics in the country, Selim Bhuiyan, chairman of Teachers-Employees Unity Alliance, said that at present politicians do not study. The bullies now do politics. The titles of politicians are now sold. If its quality does not change, it will not be possible to move forward.
At the beginning of the program, the cover of Mahmudur Rahman’s book ‘Twenty-two months of imprisonment’ was unveiled. Teacher of Independent University of Bangladesh Jahed Ur Rahman and others also spoke on the performance of SMA Kabir Hasan, Coordinator of Citizens Youth Unity.
